John (DragonSlayer) had surgery on his neck Wednesday and everything appears to have gone well. Although he expected to walk out of the hospital in just a couple days and continue with his plans to go to the Philipines next month (  ), his doctor had other ideas. John, much to his chagrin, must wear a Halo Brace for about two months and the Philipines are definitely out of the question until further notice. His wife, Annie, will keep me updated on his progress and I will pass them along to you. Also, next time she calls, I'll get an address so anyone who wishes may send him a card. Thank God all went well!

Aww poor John having his plans quashed like that. Just a delay, though. I can't imagine he won't take long to get back on track.
Speedy recovery John!
Thanks for the update.

Pete, thank you so much for the update. I'm relieved to hear that John came through the surgery well. When you speak to them next, please pass on my good wishes for a speedy recovery. He'll be in the Phillipines before the winter is out, I have no doubt, for John is a stubborn ASer and won't let this keep him down for long. I'm sorry, when I saw your subject heading and realized what your post was about, I couldn't get the image of John with a halo in some Rennaissance painting out of my head.  Many hugs,
Kat

Thanks for the update Pete
I hope John knows we are all thinking good thoughts for him in his recovery. Tell him there will always be time for his trip when he's well.

I'm so relieved to read your post!!! Great news to know that John made it through that scary surgery and that it all went well!!  Thanks for keeping us all in the loop, Pete!
I can't imagine having to spend 2 long months in a halo... my goodness. Please give him my very best if you're in touch anytime, Pete. I really hope his pain won't be too awful and that somehow the healing time will pass quickly, that he'll soon be enjoying the positive results of this trying time. We know he is one fiercely determined AS fighter!
If you get to read this thread John, please know I'll be thinking of you and still keeping you in my prayers. 
All my best to you,
mig

Glad to hear that everything went allright. I wore one for 3 1/2 months once, it's no fun, but he will get through it. I wish him well. J.R.
